Kari, thank you so much for the update! Yes, the announcement should probably also be posted in the blog.

This is major news for me as my employer has allowed me to start using ST3 for development with COBOL, JCL, and ASM on z/OS. I'm still working on a package that helps with a large portion of the workflow, and makes ST3 SOO MUCH BETTER than a TSO & z/OS environment for development. Glad to know that I won't have to jump over to Atom in order to give my department a modern editor.

Also, big shoutout to bitlang for the COBOL Syntax package. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it.

In my humble opinion, the first things that needs to be done is to :- Update the api and give a lot more access to the features of the software in order to be able to build better plugins.- Update the api docs, cuz the current doc suck and very outdated.

Where i leave we have a saying "One hand can't clap". Having a single dev (that has other responsibilities in job and life) on such a great software that is used by a lot of users around the world isn't really a good idea, especially while a lot of alternatives are rising.

Adding to that the lack of communication with the community will result in a lot of rumors. (i really hope that in the future, that we users of sublime will be updated more frequently)

She forgot to mention aliens. I truly believe this John guy is from another planet... This software is good stuff, Kari keep him working and feed him coffee every two hours! No sleep! All the best, RomRP

To answer a few queries:FORUMYes, we do intend to make the switch to another forum provider, as we agree this bad boy is a bit dated. It's on the list of things to do once 3.0 is out.SOCIAL MEDIA/COMMUNICATION WITH USERSThe power of posting to the blog and tweeting is not in my hands; it's done at Jon's discretion, and while I have brought my post to his attention, it has not yet made the cut. Again, increasing marketing and a stronger community management presence are future goals.SUGGESTIONSAs always, the best place to make your voice heard for feature adds and suggestions to expand the product is the user echo: sublimetext.userecho.comContrary to popular belief, this does get read for ideas.

However, development is still active: when I spoke to Jon today he advised me that not only does he expect an update to the beta in August, he has also started mapping out some frameworks for version 4 which will help guide future development.

Dev build 3063 is out now, with a few small improvements. There is now an equivalent to the OSX command line tool on windows: subl.exe. While the basic functionality was previously available via just passing sublime_text.exe command line arguments, because it was a windowed application rather than a console one, it wasn't possible to print help (i.e., subl.exe --help), nor was it possible to wait for file editing to finish (subl.exe --wait). Both are supported now. Note that there is no equi...
